De Koempels would be extremely pleased with their performances so far in the ongoing season. After finishing ninth last term, expectations were high in Kerkrade that their beloved side would do better in this season and they have done well to fulfil their
fans' expectations.
De Koempels are currently placed sixth in the league table, looking good to play in the UEFA Europa League play-offs next season. De Limburgers have played impressively at their home turf, losing only once from their 15 encounters. They have an overall record
of 31 played, 13 won, 12 drawn and 6 lost.
Harm van Veldhoven, De Koempels manager, has every right to be delighted with his troop's performances this season. However, Veldhoven has demanded strong performances in the remaining fixture of the season as well and finish their campaign on a high note.

NAC were left biting their nails on the field last week, when they failed to secure any point against the struggling SBV Excelsior in front of their home crowd. However, the outfit from Breda have to forget their last week’s awful performance and look to
re-gain their composure by securing maximum points in the upcoming encounter.
NAC are currently placed 13th in the league table, trailing the last Europa League play-offs spot by four points. With nine points left to play in the season, there is not much hope for the Breda outfit to take part in the Europe’s secondary club
competition play-offs.
The Rats have played inconsistently throughout the season. They have achieved superior results while playing at their home soil, but struggled to bag points on the road. They have an overall record of 31 played, 11 won, 5 drawn and 15 lost.
Players to watch
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mads-Junker-c23039 – Roda JC Kerkrade
The 30-year-old prolific striker is in his best form this season and looking a strong candidate to finish as Eredivisie leading goal-scorer of the season. He has scored 18 goals in 30 appearances and looking determined to add more to his tally in the remaining
encounters. The Danish international will play a vital role in securing all three points for his side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rob-Penders-c31208 – NAC Breda
The 35-year-old defender has made almost 300 appearances for his side and has played vital role in the Rats back-line for the past 10 seasons. He will be the key player if the Yellow Army seeks to bag a point or more. He has to restrict the home side’s top
scorer from finding the back of the net.
Head-to-Head statistics
The Rats have won three of their last five encounters against De Koempels and De Limburgers emerged victorious in the remaining two fixtures.
Prediction
The last five encounters between the two sides have always found a winner and it seems like the one of the side would bag all three points. De Koempels are playing on their home turf and are enjoying better form than the visitors. The match will end 4-2
in favour of the home side.
